SUCCESS VISA (Part One)

Nobody is born a success or a failure, we all live to be either successful or as a failure depending on how we lived our lives. Everybody is born with all needed potentials to live a fulfilled life but how much of these potentials we discover and maximized determines how successful and fulfilled we become.

Success and failure are not functions of our background in the real sense, but how well we've discovered and developed ourselves to maximize opportunities for growth around us.

While some are busy fighting for American Visa and Visas to other foreign countries to go in search of greener pastures as an escape from the circumstances that seem not to be favorable to them, others are busy making fortunes out of those same circumstances in the same land.

Well, it is not out of place to travel abroad in search of a better life, but it will be highly self-misleading and shortchanging if you go abroad in search of what you have onboard in your present abode. If by all standard your vision is not workable where you are owing to the scarcity of resources both human and non-human and which cannot be sourced where you are and if your supposed target audience (the people who are to benefit from your vision) are not around you, then launching out becomes rational.

Success, however, is the gradual achievement of predetermined and worthwhile goals in fulfillment of God's purpose and to better the lot of humanity.

Now, you may set a goal, pursue it and achieve it, but if it is not in line with the purpose you are born to accomplish as a blessing to humanity, you may not still be fulfilled.

Real success entails so many things beyond ambition, good wishes, and mere dreaming. All have to be congruent with your essence of being born. Real success is more than just achieving set goals. There are so many people today in spite of their achievements, affluence, and opulence; they still don't have a real sense of fulfillment deep within them. They still feel an emptiness within them, something is still missing and they know it (if they are really sincere with themselves).

Just as you would require Visa to be accepted into a foreign country, you need the following VISA to be inducted into the world of real champions.

V - Vision

I - Initiative

S - Sacrifice

A - Attitude

We shall X - ray these in subsequent editions.

Thanks for reading!
